1 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report Georgia Army National Guard - Georgia Air National Guard - Georgia State Defense Force

2 My fellow Georgians, State of Georgia Department of Defense OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL P.O. BOX 1970 MARIETTA, GA It is with great pride and honor that I present this 2011 annual report to the General Assembly and the citizens of Georgia, outlining the accomplishments of the Georgia Department of Defense. The Citizen-Soldiers and -Airmen of the Georgia National Guard have made tremendous strides and accomplished some amazing feats this past year. This report will show you how outstanding the more than 15,000 men and women of the Georgia Army National Guard, the Georgia Air National Guard and the Georgia State Defense Force are and what they sacrifice every day for their state and country. These men and women make me feel blessed and humbled to serve as Georgia s 41st Adjutant General. In 2011, the youngest command in the Georgia Guard, the 64th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, departed for its first deployment, while the 165th Airlift Wing deployed for the ninth time since 9/11. Our Joint STARS aircraft were called upon to assist with the conflict in Libya, while the specialty expertise of our Soldiers was called upon in countries all over the world, from Uganda to Lebanon to Kosovo to the nation of Georgia. Currently, we have over 00 Guardsmen deployed across the globe in support of our nation s military efforts. When duty calls, our Guardsmen are always ready, always there, and always on target. But these deployments have a profound affect on our local communities. And with Guard units geographically dispersed throughout the state, every community feels a direct impact. We simply could not do what we do without the support of our communities and employers. Your Georgia National Guard has earned the confidence of national leadership in demonstrating its capability to respond to homeland defense needs. Our support at home and abroad is focused and dedicated. The Soldiers, Airmen, volunteers and state employees of the Georgia Department of Defense serve our state and nation with honor and professionalism. The citizens of the great state of Georgia can take pride in knowing that their Georgia Guardsmen are ready for any threat, obstacle, or challenge imposed upon this state or nation. ALWAYS READY, ALWAYS THERE, ALWAYS ON TARGET! Sincerely, MAJ. GEN.

4 Foreword The Georgia Guard traces its history back through the militia maintained by the colony of Georgia, to the first formal militias established in the New World in 1636, to a much older tradition of militia in England. We come from all walks of life. Some of us are full-time, but most of us maintain entirely separate civilian careers. But we Georgia Guardsmen all have one thing in common: our job is to serve our state anywhere, anytime we re needed and to serve our Nation anywhere in the world. Because of our backgrounds as civilians, because of the depth of experience we bring to our military mission, we have a unique approach to everything we do whether in the skies over Afghanistan, or down on the ground in its deserts, or right here at home responding to a domestic emergency. This Annual Report provides a representative sample of the great work done by the Georgia Department of Defense in We think of this report as more of an introduction to the organization an annual prologue that builds on our long and storied past. The year opened with an almost immediate opportunity to serve our communities when Georgia was hit by the worst winter storm in decades. Guardsmen across the affected areas stepped in to lend a hand to GEMA and other state agencies, providing emergency transportation to medical personnel as well as assisting the Georgia State Patrol with stranded motorists. Later in the year, Army Guard helicopters and Air Guard bulldozers worked side-by-side with the Forestry Commission to widen fire breaks and drop water on wildfires raging on the opposite side of the state. This past year marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11 an anniversary that finds us still at war, yet, a better trained and experienced force more ready than ever to serve our state and nation. January 2011 also marked the ninth deployment of the 165th Airlift Wing out of Savannah. In its largest deployment ever, six C-130 Hercules aircraft and more than 100 flight operations and maintenance personnel deployed for three months to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Later in the year, the 116th Air Control Wing (flying the E-C JSTARS) deployed in support of NATO operations in Libya adding a unique capability for coordinating air and ground operations in a hostile environment. Other Airmen from the 116th Civil Engineering Squadron made a brief deployment stateside to help build an education center at a Navajo Nation reservation in Arizona. The year also found Georgia Army National Guard Soldiers in combat in both Afghanistan and Iraq, with Marietta s Company C, 1-111th General Support Aviation Battalion, flying medical evacuation missions right up to the very end of the mission there. Georgia Army Guardsmen also trained and lived alongside Soldiers from the Uganda Peoples Defense Forces for a major exercise sponsored by U.S. Army Africa. And, even as the war in Iraq was winding down, Soldiers of the 64th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade Headquarters were preparing to deploy to Afghanistan, where they would serve as Kabul Base Cluster Command. Happily, the year also included the return from combat of units including the 190th Military Police Company, 77th Engineer Company, and the 1-171st General Support Aviation Battalion. Volunteers of the State Defense Force were equally active this year in their growing role as a supplementary force to the Georgia National Guard. Notable was their quick response to community needs for disaster relief and search and rescue operations following local tornados and the professionalism and competence they bring to the fight. Major joint operations this year included successful Counterdrug operations, validation of Marietta s 7th Homeland Response Force, and the graduation of the 10,000th Youth ChalleNGe Academy graduate was also a year of great change for the National Guard, with the retirement of Major Generals William T. Nesbitt and Maria Britt, and the subsequent appointment of Maj. Gen. Jim Butterworth and Brig. Gen. Joe Jarrard as Georgia s Adjutant General and Commander of the Georgia Army National Guard, respectively. Over 700 civilian dignitaries and members of the military attended a ceremony marking the transition of responsibility. Here in the Annual Report, you can learn more about some of these events, as well as the units themselves, and some specifics about the economic and educational effects the Ga. DoD has on Georgia. Taken holistically, it is clear that the operations we conduct, the assistance we provide, the chances we have to learn and to lead all allow us to live the organization s values and truly realize our own potential in service to the state and nation. We Guardsmen are proud of our mission, and proud of the role we play both at home and abroad. We look forward to continuing to serve, and to continuously seek ways to improve our service through the Georgia Department of Defense. Maj. John H. Alderman IV State Public Affairs Officer Georgia Department of Defense Economic Impact Long before the Georgia National Guard established its present footprint in Cobb County and the surrounding communities, the military active duty, Reserve and a handful or Army and Air Guard units was already making a positive impact on the local economy by buying or renting homes, eating in local restaurants, shopping in local stores, banking at local financial institutions, and seeking medical care at local health facilities. Now, with a presence of some 0 entities around the state of Georgia, National Guardsmen contribute more than one billion dollars annually to the economy of defense communities around the state. From military and civilian wages to military construction, goods and services, dollars are flowing into the local economies from the National Guard. Not only are the 15,000 men and women of the Guard enhancing the everyday lives of local citizens by protecting the homeland and supporting war efforts around the world, but they are also helping protect the economic livelihoods of millions of Georgians. One of the largest enhancements to the local economic contribution of the Georgia National Guard came at the end of 2011 when the new Joint Force Headquarters building opened at Clay National Guard Center. The Georgia Guard then moved another 731 personnel onto Clay, boosting the organization s presence in Cobb to nearly 2,000 full-time personnel and traditional Guardsmen (those who attend drill once a month). That added to the 2,547 military and civilian personnel who already work at Dobbins Air Reserve Base just across the flight line. Much is made and rightly so of the support our communities give to their local Guard units. Indeed, from homecoming parades to local initiatives by community leaders to find our Guardsmen gainful employment, community support has been outstanding. It is important too for these communities to know what kind of support they receive in return: not just a ready and relevant force for responding to natural or manmade disasters, but also a profound economic influencer. What s more, the Guard doesn t just impact the bottom line of these communities, but Guardsmen are also an important part of the local social fabric, in keeping with the tradition of our nation s minutemen. 5 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 6

7 Georgia Army National Guard The Georgia Army National Guard (GARNG) consists of more than 11,100 Citizen-Soldiers training in more than 79 hometown armories and regional facilities across the state. Georgia s Army Guard is the eighth largest in the nation and includes combat, combat support and combat service support units. The Georgia Army National Guard is organized into five major subordinate commands: the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of Macon; the 7th Homeland Response Force at Clay National Guard Center in Marietta; the 7th Aviation Troop Command also at Clay; the 560th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade at Fort Gillem; and the 64th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade in Columbus at Fort Benning. The organization s mission is to provide ready forces to the Governor and combatant commanders in order to support homeland defense and overseas contingency operations. In 2011, the GARNG surpassed all federal and state requirements to include the deployment or redeployment of more than 779 Soldiers, representing all five major subordinate commands, while simultaneously conducting multiple state and regional homeland contingency exercises. The GARNG s four priorities ensure continued preparedness to meet all missions: quality strength; logistics excellence; preeminent facilities; individual and organization learning, innovation and growth. Relative to quality strength, the GARNG s success in the Recruiting and Retention Force continued in 2011, as the battalion enlisted more than 1,411 quality recruits and officer candidates. These new accessions, key programs coupled with command influence, from the company level through the Commanding General, yielded outstanding ratings in various measured programs of the 54 States and Territories (fourth in endstrength, remaining first in Medical Readiness, first in Dental Readiness, and first to reach NGB s goal of 90% in influenza vaccination). The quality strength focus provided greater impetus towards improving our duty qualification rate to 90.9%, one of the best in the National Guard. The GARNG s logistics excellence efforts focused on equipping the 64th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade and the 560th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade for deployments while fielding the 7th Homeland Response Force s required equipment. The GARNG received a tremendous influx of high-tech and dual-use equipment. The major fielding installed all GARNG military vehicles with Single Chanel Ground and Air Radio Systems. The GARNG also significantly increased its cargo movement capability with the addition of 60 M915 Line-haul Tractors. These dual-use platforms better posture the GARNG for use internally to support homeland defense or externally to support overseas contingency operations. In support of the GARNG s third priority of preeminent facilities, the organization renovated and improved multiple facilities, completed construction on two new readiness centers at Fort Gillem and at Fort Benning, and began construction on two new facilities. Individual and organization learning, innovation, and growth are hallmarks of the continuous improvement we expect of our personnel and organization. The GARNG leadership adopted the Baldridge Business Model Process to improve organizational performance practices, capabilities and results. In addition, the business model serves as a working tool for understanding and managing performance for Brig. Gen. Joe Jarrard Deputy Adjutant General Ga. Army National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. James Nelson State Command Sgt. Major Georgia National Guard guiding organization planning and opportunities for learning in order to improve value for our customers and stakeholders. This year, the GARNG was recognized as a Gold Winner in the Army Community of Excellence program for our business practices. These processes help the leadership establish priorities, focus the organization around them, and unify effort towards accomplishing them. Ultimately, our business models give our seasoned leaders a model to repeat success year after year on a strategic level, thereby giving flexibility to our frontline leaders. These accomplishments continue to set the conditions for the GARNG to be in a position of strength for increased federal funding, future force structure, and full-time manning. 11 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 12

8 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team Macon s 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) is headquartered at facilities once used by the 122nd Regional Training Institute on South Shurling Drive. The 4th, which moved from Macon Russell Armory after returning from its deployment to Afghanistan, will remain in the old RTI site until the new regional readiness complex is completed. Colonel John F. King took over as the 4th Brigade Commander from Col. Lee Durham on Oct. 3, King s senior enlisted leader is Command Sgt. Maj. Joseph E. Recker. As a combat brigade team, the 4th is authorized an estimated 3,425 Soldiers to carry out its mission statement of mobilizing, conducting post-mobilization training, and then deploying rapidly to any contingency area at home or abroad by air, sea or land, whether in support of the governor during state emergencies or in conjunction with combined offensive and defensive operations worldwide. The 4th s most recent deployment the second since 9/11 was to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from June 2009 to May The 4th also mobilized in 2004 for combat operations in support of the War on Terror, and then the Brigade deployed to Iraq in 2005, where it experienced some of the fiercest combat action of the campaign. Elements of the 4th also deployed to Bosnia in 2001 to provide support for Task Force Eagle. More than 4,500 members of the 4th mobilized in 1990 to participate in Desert Storm, and it was the first and only National Guard combat brigade validated as combat-ready for the Gulf War though the conflict ended before the 4th was deployed. During this last deployment, the 4th suffered an estimated 49 wounded in action and eight combatrelated deaths, significantly less than the 26 Soldiers it lost to enemy action during its deployment as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom III in , but still an enormous loss to the families, friends and fellow service members of those fallen heroes. No exact number of those wounded during Operation Iraqi Freedom is available. In 2010, elements of the brigade received the Meritorious Unit Citation for their accomplishments during the 4th s deployment to Afghanistan. Several awards for valor have also been presented to 4th Brigade Soldiers for their individual contributions during that yearlong mission. 4th IBCT Units Col.

Colonel Robert B. Gaston, with Command Sgt. Major Claude Ray as his senior enlisted leader, commands the 7th ATC. The mission of the 7th ATC s more than 700 pilots, aircrew, maintenance, and support personnel is to mobilize and deploy aviation forces for providing command and control, air movement, and air assault operations in support of combat operations worldwide, as well as to provide aviation support during state and national emergencies in response to homeland defense operations. The 7th ATC s major deployments and redeployments in 2011 included: UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters of Detachment 1, Company C, of the 1-15th deploying to Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn; UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters of the 1-171st mobilizing in November for their second deployment to Iraq, this time in support of Operation New Dawn; and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters of the Detachment 1, Company C, Medevac mobilizing for deployment to Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn. The most recent aviation unit to deploy involved the UH-60 Black Hawks of Detachment 2, Company C, 1-169th Medevac, which left February 5, 2012, for deployment in Afghanistan. There, under the Army s 49th and 29th Aviation brigades, its 21 pilots, aircrew, flight medical and support personnel, will provide Medevac support to troops now involved in Operation Enduring Freedom. Among the 7th ATC s accomplishments in 2011 was Company C, 1-151st Service and Support s support of Operation New Horizons in the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. Our Chinooks were also busy this past year. On three different occasions they fought forest fires in Southeast Georgia using helicopter buckets to assist in the efforts. They also provided aviation support to the Joint Readiness and Training Center in Fort Polk, La. Additionally, the 7th Aviation Troop Command fielded four new Unmanned Aircraft System aircraft, trained the Soldiers, and deployed them to Afghanistan to support the Global War on Terror. 7th ATC Units 7th Aviation Troop Command Headquarters, Clay National Guard Center, Marietta 1st of the 171st General Support Aviation Battalion, Clay National Guard Center, Marietta Company H, 171st Aviation Regiment, Clay National Guard Center, Marietta Company C, 2nd of the 151st Service and Support Battalion, Clay National Guard Center, Marietta Company B, 1st of the 169th General Support Aviation Battalion, Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah Company C, 1st of the 169th General Support Aviation Battalion, Clay National Guard Center, Marietta Company C, 1st of the 111th General Support Aviation Battalion, Clay National Guard Center, Marietta Col.

9 64th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade The Georgia Army National Guard s 64th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB), a unit currently authorized an estimated 1,374 Soldiers, was formed Oct. 1, 2007, in Columbus, Ga. The 64th s current commander is Col. Andy Hall and the senior enlisted advisor is Command Sgt. Maj. John Smiley. The 64th MEB s mission is to provide manned, ready, and fully equipped mission-capable units to combatant and Joint Task Force commanders with capabilities of full-spectrum operations and consequence management to support the war fight, defend the homeland and to provide defense support to civil authorities. The MEB s deployments and redeployments in 2011 included the redeployment of the 77th Horizontal Construction Company from Wardak Province, Afghanistan, and the forward deployment of the Brigade Headquarters and Headquarters Company to Kabul, Afghanistan. The 77th exceeded expectations in constructing a vital roadway in the volatile Tangi Valley to provide safer alternate routes for coalition forces. The Brigade Headquarters is now providing support to seven military outposts in the Kabul Base Cluster. The MEB concept for command and control capacity surpasses that of other brigade headquarters. MEBs are uniquely designed for both war fighting and operational support roles. Their elaborate capabilities are a microcosmic parallel of the National Guard s dual roles to serve in the operational environment and in a local role in support of state missions, mostly in disaster and humanitarian relief operations. The 64th MEB is parent to an engineer battalion, brigade support battalion, and a separate signal company. The 620th Signal Company, in Weston, W.Va., is currently detached in support of missions to the West Virginia Army National Guard. In the spring of 2011, the 64th MEB transferred command of the 71st CERF-P Battalion, the Field Artillery Battalion, and the 170th Military Police Battalion to the 7th Homeland Response Force. The main training event conducted by elements of the 64th in 2011 was the National Guard Bureau s Exportable Training Center (XCTC) exercise in October at Camp Blanding, Fla. The Brigade completed numerous, collective pre-deployment tasks, from staff systems integration in a tactical operations center, to base-support group battle drills. The 34th Brigade Support Battalion offered the comprehensive white cell to liaison with XCTC staff and the Florida Army National Guard, and provided administrative and logistics support for all GARNG forces during the XCTC exercise. 64th MEB Units Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Columbus 7th Engineer Battalion, Augusta Headquarters Support Company, Augusta Forward Support Company, Augusta 77th Engineer Company (Horizontal Construction), Augusta Col.

Thomas Carden and based at the Oglethorpe Armory in Ellenwood. The brigade s senior enlisted leader is Command Sgt. Maj. Philip Stringfield. Since its inception on Oct. 1, 2007, the brigade s mission has been to provide command and control of reconnaissance, surveillance, and intelligence operations in support of a division, corps, or joint task force. The headquarters provides command, control and supervision of the tactical operations of the brigade and attached units, while the headquarters company provides unit administration and logistical support for the brigade staff sections. The 560th is authorized an estimated 1,10 Soldiers with which to carry out that mission. The 560th BFSB carried out several significant and unique training events and mobilizations in In January 2011, the Brigade headquarters participated in the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-sanctioned, joint, combined, multinational exercise Yama Sakura 59 in Kumamoto, Japan. During this exercise, the Brigade served as the BFSB for U.S. Army Pacific and conducted simulation exercises that stressed the defense of the Japanese mainland. Also in January, the 221st Military Intelligence Battalion conducted a send-off ceremony for the 32-Soldier Kosovo Peace Keeping Force (KFOR 14) Analysis Control Element Team. October 2011, the 3-10th Cavalry departed for Camp Atterbury, Ind., in preparation for a 12-month deployment to Kosovo. On Oct. 16, 2011, the Brigade was officially notified that it would not mobilize in support of Operation New Dawn because all U.S. troops were set to depart Iraq prior to Dec. 31, The Brigade received notification that it would assume a new mission of signals intelligence and human intelligence support in Afghanistan requiring a package of approximately personnel to deploy with specialized skill sets. During the October/November 2011 Exportable Combined Training Capability Exercise (XCTC), the 560th achieved a number of notable firsts. This rotation was the first to conduct classified operations, to include a classified command post exercise. This was the first XCTC exercise to use active component observer controllers. This was also the first exercise where National Guard, Active Duty, and Reserve Soldiers and military intelligence subject matter experts worked together to evaluate National Guard Soldiers in preparation for deployment. During the exercise, the 560th BFSB S-2 section employed the Common Ground Station from Camp Blanding, Fla., and received live feeds from Joint STARS aircraft on live missions overseas. In December 2011, the Brigade focused on mobilizing Company A of the 221st MI Battalion in support of operations in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom). The 221st prepared its Soldiers for mobilization to support signals and human intelligence missions and reintegrated KFOR 14 ACE personnel after their demobilization process. Meanwhile, the 3-10th Cavalry has transitioned to conducting its transfer of authority in Kosovo in preparation for assuming its mission. Over the course of the year, the 560th BFSB conducted five iterations of pre-deployment training at Fort Stewart, Ga., in preparation for overseas operations. Col.

10 7th Homeland Response Force The Georgia Army Guard s 7th Homeland Response Force (HRF) was selected as one of 10 homeland response forces to support FEMA as a consequence management agency for chemical, biological, nuclear, and/or radiological incidents. The 7th HRF officially changed its unit designation from a troop command Nov. 1, 2010 filling a crucial gap as the response force for FEMA Region IV. Since Jan. 11, 2011, the 7th HRF has occupied its new headquarters at the Clay National Guard Center in Marietta. Commanded by Col. Michael Scholes, Sr., since Dec. 1, 2010, the 7th HRF s mission is to man, train and equip a homeland response force that can provide a response capability to assist civil authorities in saving lives and mitigating suffering in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incident. At the same time, the 7th must provide trained and ready troops to support overseas contingency operations. To fulfill its mission statement, the 7th is authorized an estimated 2,677 Soldiers. The 7th s senior enlisted leader is Command Sgt. Maj. Grady Gayton. As the 7th HRF continues to support its stateside mission of providing support to civil authorities in times of disaster, it also has seen the deployment and redeployment of its subordinate units in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and New Dawn. In 2011, the 277th Maintenance Company returned from its yearlong deployment to Afghanistan, and the 1177th Transportation Company returned from Qatar. While supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, most of the 277th s personnel were attached to the 17th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion out of Fort Elendorf in Richardson, Alaska, and stayed at Bagram Air Base in Kabul. Others, who were sent outside the wire, went to forward operating bases where they worked alongside the Army s 360th Transportation Company and under the 101st Airborne Division. The 277th also picked up the additional task of mentoring Afghan Army maintenance units throughout those areas. The 170th Military Police Battalion, formerly under the 64th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, is now the security element for the 7th HRF. The 170th MP Battalion is currently deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where it is responsible for assisting Guantanamo s Joint Detention group with personnel actions, intelligence, supply, logistics, and day-to-day operations. The 179th and 27th Military Police Companies are both preparing for deployments to Afghanistan. In the near future, the 265th Regional Support Group will deploy Agribusiness Development Team II to Afghanistan and redeploy its first Agribusiness Development Team to its home station in Metter, Ga. ADT II is the second of three such Georgia teams that are part of the ongoing National Guard program to help the Afghans improve their farming and agribusiness techniques, thereby enhancing that country s agricultural economy and steering Afghan farmers away from growing poppy, which is used for making heroin. The 124th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment deployed for two weeks in January 2011 for overseas duty training in support of Yama Sakura 59, an annual joint command, tabletop exercise conducted by the Japan Ground Self Defense Force and U.S. forces. This was the third time the 124th has participated. The 7th HRF was fully certified as a homeland response force November Col. Michael Scholes, Sr. Commander 7th Homeland Response Force Ga.

11 Georgia Air National Guard High deployment tempo, significant organizational changes and new state leadership underscored 2011 as a year of change for the 2,900 Airmen of the Georgia Air National Guard. Five of the Georgia Air Guard s 10 operational units deployed personnel and equipment throughout the year in support of Operations New Dawn, Odyssey Dawn, Unified Protector, and Enduring Freedom in addition to the units Air Expeditionary Force taskings. Although force drawdowns appear imminent due to fiscal constraints and conflict resolutions, the Georgia Air Guard s core missions are still in high demand. We are committed to our vision of developing top-tier Airmen and units to protect our nation across the spectrum of conflict and to protect its citizens from natural and man-made disasters with our joint services and interagency partners. Our largest unit, the 116th Air Control Wing (ACW) based at Robins AFB, flying the E-C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft, has continuously deployed aircraft and personnel in Southwest Asia for the last 10 years, amassing more than 2,000 combat flying hours. The 165th Airlift Wing based in Savannah, flying the C-130H aircraft, has deployed aircraft and personnel to Iraq and Afghanistan, on average, every 1 months. In 2011 alone, the 165th airlifted over 5,600 tons of cargo and flew 1,500 combat sorties. Our geographically separated units continued their support of the Global War on Terror in The 165th Air Support Operations Squadron provided Joint Terminal Attack Controllers to multiple Army Infantry Brigade Combat Teams, ensuring timely and efficient air response to imminent threats. Members of Brunswick s 224th Joint Communications Support Squadron joined the Joint Communications Support Element, providing rapidly deployable tactical communications to multiple locations throughout Southwest Asia. The 202nd Engineering Installation Squadron also deployed to Southwest Asia in 2011 for six months to support Joint Task Force Expeditionary and Air Expeditionary communication infrastructure taskings. The Georgia Air National Guard saw the end of the blended wing concept in For a nine-year span, the 116th ACW operated as the only blended wing in the Air Force s Total Force Initiative. The wing accomplished its unique JSTARS mission with unparalleled results, realizing many organizational synergies; however, many challenges remain. In the end, the time-tested model of active association between Air National Guard and Active Duty Air Force personnel proved the best solution. As a result, a new active duty associate wing called the 461st Air Control Wing was formed Sept. 30, As an active associate wing, the 116th has the principal responsibility for the weapon system, but both wings operate together as Team JSTARS accomplishing the mission, integrating Guard and active duty personnel and functioning as one team. All units of the Georgia Air Guard continue to play an active role in supporting Georgia s homeland defense and defense support to civil authorities missions. By providing unique capabilities such as information awareness assessment, engineering, airlift and communications support the Georgia Air Guard is well positioned to meet the growing demands of civil authorities. Our Airmen train regularly during exercises with the Georgia National Guard s 7th Maj. Gen. Thomas R. Moore Commander Ga. Air National Guard Chief Master Sgt. Donald M. Camp State Command Chief Ga. Air National Guard Homeland Response Force, the 4th Civil Support Team, the Chemical, Biological, Radiological/Nuclear, and Explosive enterprise, FEMA Region IV, other FEMA regions, and with our partners in the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. Our dual status, with responsibilities to the state and federal government, makes our mission unique and provides the flexibility for both local and global response. In these times of fiscal constraint, we are expected to do more with less. However, as we have done countless times in the past, we will continue to provide highly motivated mission-ready forces for employment by the Governor and the United States Department of Defense. Your Georgia Air National Guard is Always Ready, Always There, Always on Target. 19 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 20

12 165th Airlift Wing Georgia s 165th Airlift Wing is located at Savannah International Airport and is composed of more than 900 men and women who support, maintain and fly the unit s eight C-130H Hercules aircraft. The mission of the 165th Airlift Wing is to provide tactical airlift of personnel, equipment and supplies. During 2011, aircraft and crews of the 165th flew missions into every continent and dozens of nations around the world. The unit maintains one of the highest aircraft operational readiness records in either the National Guard or the U.S. Air Force. As part of its dual mission, the wing is also subject to be called upon for assistance during state emergencies to airlift food, medical supplies, equipment, and personnel domestically or internationally. These missions extend to emergency relief support during natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, forest fires, search and rescue operations, and defense support to civil authorities. The 165th serves as the host base for Brunswick s 224th Joint Communications Support Squadron, Hunter Army Air Field s 117th Air Control Squadron, Brunswick s 165th Air Support Operations Squadron, and the Combat Readiness Training Center in Garden City, Ga. This past year, the 165th celebrated its 65th anniversary. In 2011, the 165th flew more than 2,00 hours, of which 1,430 were flown in combat operations in Afghanistan. This increased the Wing s combat experience to nine years of combat operations and well over 10,500 combat flight hours without a single mishap. In December 2010, six of the 165th s C-130 aircraft began the more than 7,000-mile journey to Afghanistan for a three-month stint at Bagram Air Base. This is the ninth time the 165th has deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan in support of the War on Terror. Accompanying the Georgia Guard aircraft headed for Afghanistan were more than 100 Georgia Guard Airmen, including all of the wing s operations personnel and more than 50 percent of its maintenance department. Savannah s C-130s were joined by 10 additional C-130s from the Nevada Air National Guard and active duty Air Force and attached to the 744th Air Expeditionary Wing to put aircraft in the air and move equipment, food and people for Afghan, American and NATO forces fighting the Taliban. This is the largest deployment of aircraft and personnel that has occurred for the 165th. Since the beginning of operations in the Persian Gulf, the 165th has been integrally involved in air operations. Several elements of the wing have deployed throughout the region, with Airmen serving in Uzbekistan, Turkey, Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In 2009, the 165th deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In 2005, the unit deployed aircraft and more than 100 personnel to Karshi-Khanabad, Uzbekistan, for 11 months. During this period, the unit airlifted more than 35,660 tons of cargo in support of the War on Terror. The Wing s doctors and medical technicians deployed during 2010 to Honduras, where they treated more than 4,000 people. The unit later supported U.S. Africa Command, teaching aircraft maintenance principles to Libyan Air Force personnel. In support of Operation Unified Response for Haiti following a devastating earthquake in January 2010, the 165th quickly deployed Airmen to Puerto Rico to fly dozens of Col. Jesse T. Simmons, Jr. Commander, 165th Airlift Wing much-needed sorties, delivering more than 90 tons of cargo and transporting 296 relief and aid workers. The 165th assisted Army Joint Task Force 71 in providing CERF-P training involving bomb threats, chemical explosions, search and extractions, radiological accidents, and natural disasters. The 165th coordinated military and civilian security efforts for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed exercise, Ardent Century. The wing also hosted extensive training exercises and firearms for more than 5,500 law enforcement officers from Chatham County as well as Customs agencies, the DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshalls and the Secret Service. The Wing continues to receive numerous awards, including nine Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards, and enjoys the reputation of being one of the top airlift units in the nation. This is directly attributed to the professionalism and espirit-de-corps of the Guardsmen who have served, and are now serving, within its ranks. 116th Air Control Wing With nearly 10 years of continuous deployment in support of U.S. Central Command, the 116th Air Control Wing (ACW) continues to provide E-C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft for world-class Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR). Based at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Ga., JSTARS is the sole provider of the much-lauded and persistently tasked E-C fleet. The 116th ACW has been on a continuous deployment cycle since 9/11 and flown over 2,000 combat hours as of February 2012, supporting ongoing contingency operations around the world. On Sept , after nine years of being the only Blended Wing in the U.S. Air Force, the 116th ACW transformed into an active associate construct. The 116th ACW was established as the host while the 461st ACW was stood up as the associate wing and the newest wing in the Air Force. The two wings now work together as Team JSTARS. This past year, Team JSTARS provided aircraft and personnel support to five separate combatant commanders in five geographically separated areas of responsibility. Short-notice deployments in support of operations in Pacific Command and Africa Command tested the readiness of 116th and 461st Airmen, but each time they met the challenge. While supporting NATO operations, Team JSTARS was able to meet an unprecedented 141 of 141 tasked sorties while providing C2ISR for combat operations over Libya. Their efforts help save hundreds of civilian lives, consistent with UN mandates by providing 100% air tasking order coverage. One of the 116th Operations Group s aircrews was later recognized as the ANG 2011 Air Battle Manager Aircrew of the Year. Crew One, from the 12th Airborne Command and Control Squadron, provided exceptional command and control to 7,000 aircraft in a 600,000 square-mile battle space. JSTARS was also on station, providing coverage for the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops to leave Iraq. Operations in support of Northern Command and Southern Command have continued to showcase the JSTARS mission capabilities. In July 2011, the 116th Logistic Readiness Squadron and the 116th Maintenance Group received an Outstanding rating during NGB s logistic compliance assessment program inspection. The 116th Mission Support Group provides support both overseas and at home. The 116th Security Forces Squadron deployed personnel to Afghanistan supporting force protection requirements. Additionally, the wing s Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit personnel excelled in their mission with Tech. Sgt. Barry Duffield being awarded the Combat Action Medal and Bronze Star (second award) for his actions in Afghanistan. At home, the 116th Civil Engineer Squadron (CES) took 42 members to St. Michaels Association for Special Education, Navajo Nation reservation, Window Rock, Ariz. The unit participated in a special DoD innovative readiness training program designed to provide realworld training opportunities to prepare for wartime missions while supporting America s homeland. During a two-week deployment, the 116th CES worked with units Brig. Gen. William L. Welsh Commander, 116th Air Control Wing from sister services in an ongoing construction project on a new adult skills center. Maintaining a healthy force is always a challenge, but the 116th Medical Group (MDG) consistently provided outstanding medical support. They were able to sustain deployment medical processing and operational readiness inspection preparation, while continuing work stateside with the 7th Homeland Response Force, FEMA Region IV, and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. The 116th MDG even received a perfect score during the final certification process and is fully mission capable to respond to any emergencies. As we begin 2012, the 116th ACW and Team JSTARS stand ready to meet the challenges that lie ahead. The professionalism and dedication of Team JSTARS to the Air Force core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in all we do, ensure a clear path to success far into the future. 21 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 22

13 117th Air Control Squadron Control of the highly charged and congested airspace over a given combat zone is the responsibility of the Georgia Air National Guard s unique 117th Air Control Squadron (ACS), of Savannah. During exercises, contingencies, or actual war, the 117th ACS s command and control mission is to provide air support activities and to advise and assist the ground force commander in planning, requesting, coordinating and controlling close air support, tactical air reconnaissance, and tactical airlift. Trained air controllers have the responsibility of directing aircraft entering, exiting or crossing congested airspace using an array of sophisticated radar equipment and 165th Air Support Operations Squadron Close air support for advancing ground units is often critical in perilous combat environments like Afghanistan. The Battlefield Airmen of Brunswick s 165th Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS) deploy with, advise, and assist joint force commanders in planning, requesting, coordinating and controlling close air support, reconnaissance, and tactical airlift missions. Georgia is one of only 14 states that have an Air Guard ASOS. The in-demand 52 tactical air control parties of Georgia s 165th ASOS have been deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan since They were even on the ground in 23 Georgia Department of Defense sensors that provide greater coverage than most small city airports. The 117th became the first air control squadron to participate in the Joint User Interface Communications Evaluation in June This exercise tested tactical communications equipment employment, and this year the exercise specifically evaluated a new everything over IP method of digitalizing all communications. The 117th was the first Air Guard ACS to receive new command and control software, and the unit was also specifically chosen to be the first ACS (active duty or Air National Guard) to receive a major upgrade to the TRC-215 Remote Radar/Radio System due to unit expertise. During 2011, the 117th focused on reconstitution and training of its unit following the 2010 deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The unit also received Afghanistan during the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team s most recent deployment providing a unique example of wartime interoperability between Georgia Army Guard and Georgia Air Guard forces. Ten members of the 165 ASOS trained with the 24th ASOS, Kan. Air National Guard the last few months of 2011 in preparation for 2012 deployments to Afghanistan. The 165th ASOS also sent the only team to represent either the Air Guard or the Air Force at the 2011 Leapfest, the largest continuously conducted airborne competition in the world. 224th Joint Communications Squadron a simulation training upgrade that allows its simulation equipment to link into the Air Force s secure Distributed Mission Operations network. Not only have operations personnel excelled at providing command and control for the air war over Afghanistan and Iraq during recent deployments, but the maintenance team also continues to assure a 100% operational rate for its myriad of high-tech communications equipment. The 224th Joint Communications Support Squadron (JCSS) provides general tactical communications support to a myriad of missions. The mission of the 224th JCSS is to immediately deploy to provide en-route, early entry, scalable C4 support to the regional combatant commands, special operations command, and other agencies as directed; and, on order, to provide additional C4 services within 72 hours to support larger CJTF/ CJSOTF Headquarters across the full spectrum of operations. JCSS maintains a professional force of trained, rapidly deployable communications. The unit s diverse and flexible organization comprises 23rd Combat Communications Squadron Georgia s 23rd Combat Communications Squadron is responsible for first-in rapid deployment and build-up of an integrated force with state-of-theart communications equipment and multi-skilled personnel. The unit provides scalable command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and information operations capabilities to expeditionary air and space forces for any contingency operation. Additionally, the 23rd has helped support and develop two critical U.S. missile defense missions since The first three active duty squadrons, two Air-National Guard Squadrons, and one Army Reserve squadron. The 224th is a model of the total force and its units routinely exercise and deploy together, making for an effective team capable of accommodating a wide range of mission options and tasks. The 224th JCSS deployed 26 members to 15 different locations in five countries from August 2010 to March The ability to meet emerging missions was evident when four of those members were redirected to provide support in Pakistan for flood relief efforts. Since May 2006, the 224th JCSS has maintained a continual rotation with 10-month mobilizations. At the same time, the unit has supported the U.S. Navy on its humanitarian missions, providing medical and civil engineering aid to Central American countries for six months. The 224th JCSS is also heavily involved in the Global Information Grid, which is an extension of the Defense Information Systems Agency. The unit s diverse mission set contributes to an operational tempo that is among the highest of any squadron in the Department of Defense, Active or Reserve. is the National Capital RegionIntegrated Air Defense System, which is responsible for the security of the airspace around the nation s capitol. In accordance with the unit s mission to provide deployable communications and information capabilities, the 23rd has provided complex communications infrastructure for the purpose of training and certifying personnel rotating into the national capital region to man and operate the Integrated Air Defense System. The second missile defense mission is to provide a tactical communications infrastructure supporting a Deployable Integrated Air Defense System. This deployable version of the NCR-IADS would respond to any National Special Security Event requiring a missile defense course of action Annual Report 24

14 139th Intelligence Squadron The primary mission of the 139th Intelligence Squadron (IS) is to execute cryptologic intelligence operations to satisfy strategic, operational and tactical intelligence requirements of national decision makers, combatant commands, combat operations, plans and forces. Additionally, the 139th IS has the state mission to provide a trained and equipped force to assist the citizens of Georgia in times of emergency. The 45-member intelligence squadron employs 3 traditional and seven full-time Guardsmen. The unit fits the total force initiative classic associate squadron model of the Air Force by working alongside the Active Duty s 40th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Group at Fort Gordon. The 139th IS is capable of supporting two distinct USAF missions: Distributed Common Ground System and National-Tactical 202nd Engineering Installation Squadron The engineering, installation, removal, relocation, repair and serviceability of sophisticated command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems at Air Force installations worldwide is the responsibility of the men and women of Robins Air Force Base s 202nd Engineering Installation Squadron. The unit also provides disaster relief and assists state authorities during emergencies by providing disaster recovery, restoration and repair of Ga. DoD, federal and civil communications infrastructure. In 2011, the unit was mobilized for a 10-day boots-on-the-ground Integration. Since initial standup in 200, the 139th IS declared initial operational capability in 2010, and full operational capability is expected to be reached in late While continuing to build towards full operational capability for its federal missions, the 139th IS ramped up its ability to support domestic operation requirements in The 139th IS augmented Joint Force Headquarters J2 and J3 for hurricane preparedness exercises and Joint Operations Center tabletop exercises. The 139th IS also joined in regular production of the Republic of Georgia Diplomatic, Informational, Military, and Economic Summary which supports the Adjutant General and Ga. DoD staffs. The 139th Intelligence Squadron received a new squadron commander in July 2011, when Lt. Col. Geoclyn R. Williams assumed command. Williams came to the 139th IS from the 165th Airlift Wing, where she was previously assigned as the Senior Intelligence Officer. deployment to the Middle East. In addition to supporting its USAFCENT Aerospace Expeditionary Force mission, the unit received a joint expeditionary tasking to directly support the U.S. Army at Forward Operating Bases in Afghanistan. Working in a total of seven different countries in South West Asia, members of the 202nd were awarded an impressive array of decorations for their contributions to the war effort. These decorations include four Bronze Stars, four Air Force Commendation Medals, 15 Army Commendation Medals, two Air Force Achievement Medals, and 7 Army Achievement Medals. At the same time the unit was mobilizing, it was also completing its BRAC-directed relocation from its 59-year home at the Macon Airport to The139th IS personnel received accolades for operational support in Senior Airman Kelly Powers was lauded as a the single superior performer identified during the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency s Standardization/Evaluation Visit to 40 ISRG held in October First Lt.

Robins AFB. The 202nd received its fourth consecutive and eighth overall Air Force Outstanding Unit Award in 2011 and was named the Georgia Air National Guard Family Readiness Unit of the Year. Today, the unit has 111 personnel in a variety of Air Force specialty codes. This outstanding team support ensures the squadron is ready to live up to its motto: Global Technicians, Anytime - Anywhere. 530th Air Force Band The 530th Air Force Band ( Band of the South ) supports global Air Force and Air National Guard missions by fostering patriotism and providing musical services for the military community as well as the general public. The unit performs for audiences all over the world, although it primarily serves communities throughout Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina was quite eventful for the 530th. The band started to prepare Combat Readiness Training Center The multilateral responsibility of the Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) and its assigned Airmen is to provide the most realistic training environment possible for today s war fighter. This mission encompasses a variety of tasks. Facilitating the multifaceted training requirements of its myriad of military clients, the Georgia Air National Guard s Combat Readiness Training Center continues its everexpanding, ever-evolving mission. At any given time, one might find Canadian Civil Engineers working a small group for deployment. The Air Guard Bands rotate units in coordination with their active duty counterpart to have a continuing presence in the Gulf Area. The band had nine functioning sub units that helped to meet mission requests in five states including performances in Ashville, N.C.; Virginia Beach, Va.; Pigeon Forge, Tenn.; Amelia Island, Fa.; and many locations in Georgia. The band helped to dedicate the new Joint Force Headquarters building at Clay National Guard Center and was broadcast in the Atlanta area while supporting maintenance or construction projects within a few steps of Air National Guard fighter pilots determining the methodology of their most recent air battle using the Air Combat Training System. The CRTC manages fighter sorties flying in and out of the Townsend Bombing Range, using LINK-16 and SADL to gain air war management and superiority. CRTC personnel facilitate the training of Joint Terminal Air Controllers in laser guidance of air-based weapons systems. Intrinsic yet challenging classroom and scenario training on the latest communications and computer equipment is also a responsibility of the CRTC. 11-Alive s Rachel s Challenge. In September, the unit received information that the 530th Band and five other Air National Guard Bands would be deactivated possibly as early as October The CRTC serves as the base of operations for conferences impacting thousands of military personnel. These conferences may be held at a fraction of the cost of civilian convention centers while providing the same level of service. In FY 2011, the number of personnel training at the CRTC rose to 15,493, accounting for more than 100,000 actual training days being utilized and more than 67,000 meals getting served in the dining facility. Savannah s Combat Readiness Training Center continues its distinguished reputation for providing a perpetually safe training environment for today s war-tasked peacekeepers. 25 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 26

15 Georgia State Defense Force When ordered by the Adjutant General, the Georgia State Defense Force (GSDF) provides an organized, trained, disciplined, rapid response, uniformed force. GSDF volunteers respond to needs and emergency situations as defined by the Adjutant General or the Governor, and assist local authorities where such missions do not conflict. The Georgia State Defense Force is authorized under the Official Code of Georgia, Title 3, and serves at the will of the Governor and under the direction of the Adjutant General. Prior-service veterans comprise approximately 33 percent of the GSDF force. State Defense Force members act as a force multiplier to the Ga. DoD, capable of immediate response when called upon and assisting with everything from search and rescue missions, to disaster relief efforts, to helping reunite redeploying Guardsmen with their families. When called upon, the GSDF provides a variety of support functions for the Georgia National Guard including family support, legal assistance, medical and chaplaincy support, and technical assistance in a variety of areas including information technology and communications, emergency support teams and in other specialized areas. The GSDF performs defense support to civil authority missions such as evacuation and control during natural disasters, perimeter safety, and medical assistance at major public events. It also maintains liaison with a variety of local emergency, law enforcement, and homeland security agencies. Additionally, the GSDF can assist in military data recording and can assist GEMA with manning emergency operations centers. The GSDF provides directly, and makes available through other resources, a wide variety of training and educational opportunities, from military operations to community emergency response team training for its personnel. The strong working relationship with both the Georgia Army and Air National Guard allows the GSDF to remain relevant and ready to serve the state and its citizens, now and long into the future. It has been said, The spirit of patriotism burns brightest in the heart of the volunteer. Throughout our nation s history, it is that spirit of volunteerism which has made America and its citizens strong. That spirit burns no brighter than in the citizens of the state of Georgia and, most particularly, in those who serve in the Georgia State Defense Force. These outstanding Americans serve the Department of Defense and our fellow Georgians without compensation or reward. The men and women of the Georgia State Defense Force epitomize the fullest definition of civil servant. Brig. Gen. Jerry Bradford Commanding General Ga. State Defense Force Georgia State Defense Force members practice their search and rescue skills during one of their monthly drill sessions. 27 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 2

16 Joint Staff The Director of the Joint Staff is responsible for the management, leadership and direction of the Ga. DoD Joint Staff related to defense support to civil authorities, homeland security and homeland defense. The Joint Staff is comprised of members of the Georgia Army National Guard, Air National Guard, and State Defense Force, as well as Department of Defense civilians and contractors. The purpose of the Joint Staff is to provide the Adjutant General with time-sensitive intelligence and information relative to issues in Georgia, the United States and the world. This information may come from NGB, Northern Command (located in Colorado Springs), or other state or federal government agencies. The Joint Staff provides a community-based response force that offers ready, rapid support in defense of the homeland. It seeks to build the strength of the Georgia Department of Defense through internal and external partnerships. It does this by leveraging and maintaining liaisons with the Georgia Office of Homeland Security, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, and other key emergency and law enforcement officials across the state. A critical part of the Joint Staff is the Joint Operations Center, currently located at the Clay National Guard Center in Marietta. The JOC is manned 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, to provide the critical information and communications node for all information with reference to homeland security, homeland defense and defense support to civil authorities. It gathers, synthesizes, and disseminates worldwide relevant and critical information throughout the Ga. DoD. The Director of the Joint Staff also has several other programs under his purview. The Service Support Directorate is responsible for planning, developing, supervising and directing family programs for Georgia National Guard and Reserve members and their families, including any family or deployed military personnel regardless of service or component at all levels of contingency and mobilization, with operations throughout the state. This program also advises the Adjutant General on family readiness, quality of life, other family program matters, and the development and implementation of work and life services and activities for Georgia National Guard Family Programs.

17 Defense Support of Civil Authorities It is a primary mission of the National Guard to stand by to assist the state or nation in matters of homeland security or natural disasters. That includes anything from fighting wildfires, to helping with oil spills, to helping flood victims, to assisting with riot control. This is the traditional role of the Guardsman the image of the minuteman with one hand on the plow and the other on the rifle. This role is essential to the Guard s identity. Guardsmen will always be there, prepared to handle these types of civil disruptions. For that reason, Georgia s National Guard units are geographically dispersed throughout the state for quick response. And the Georgia Guard is not just defensively postured to assist civil authorities with emergencies. The organization assists with proactive measures as well. The Guard has been on the ground fighting drug violence for some time here in Georgia. The Ga. DoD has an entire unit dedicated to Counterdrug efforts. The Joint Staff, through the JFHQ, provides a community-based response force that offers ready, rapid support in defense of the state, region and country. The Joint Staff enhances mission performance and strengthens the care provided to Ga. DoD members and their families by leveraging community presence, employer support and family care programs. Its auxiliary mission is to transform the Ga. DoD to meet future and present federal and state response capabilities. Under the JFHQ umbrella, the Ga. DoD maintains liaison with the Georgia Office of Homeland Security and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, along with key emergency and law enforcement officials across the state. The Guard s Quick Reaction Force (QRF) stands poised to respond, on very short notice, to provide DSCA. The QRF provides force protection and security for WMD Civil Support Teams and CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package Teams. The Georgia Guard s Quick Reaction Force is comprised of 132 personnel who are capable of responding within eight hours and 500 personnel who can respond within 24 hours. The Georgia Guard also plays a major role in combating the threat of weapons of mass destruction here at home through its 4th Civil Support Team. This team uses stateof-the-art technology to assess suspected WMD attacks and then advises civilian responders on the appropriate responses to take. In addition to the CST, the Ga. DoD provides a layer of contingency response through the JTF 71 CERFP. This team can respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive incidents and can support local, state, and federal agencies in managing the consequences of an event by providing capabilities to conduct casualty/patient decontamination, medical support, and casualty search and extraction. The National Guard also provides Critical Infrastructure Protection- Mission Assurance Assessment (CIP-MAA) Detachments, which conduct all-hazard risk assessments on prioritized federal and state critical infrastructure in support of the Defense Critical Infrastructure Program. The CIP-MAA team works in conjunction with GOHS and GEMA and provides assistance, advice, and solutions for securing key facilities, and helps to identify and coordinate resources that might be needed in the event of a natural or manmade emergency. The CIP-MAA program focuses on increasing protection of critical assets within the state of Georgia. The team is comprised of National Guard Soldiers who have extensive knowledge and training in offensive and assault operations, physical security, structural design, infrastructure interdependencies, cyber security, and emergency management. These are Guardsmen who help look after the security of our communications systems, public works, transportation, electrical power and water supply systems. Homeland risk assessments have shown that these points of interest are most likely to be targeted in the event of another domestic terrorist attack; so, clearly, the Guard s work here is vital to homeland security. And while it is perhaps well known that the Guard assists with fighting wildfires from the air through its Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System, it is perhaps less known that the Guard has its own fire departments. And, of course, one state s Guard is always willing to help another state through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which is a national mutual aid partnership agreement that allows state-to-state assistance during governor or federally declared emergencies. These are just some of the ways the Georgia Guard is facilitating homeland security within the states and the nation at large.

18 Joint Task Force 71 CERFP The Georgia Guard s Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high-yield Explosive Response Force Package, also known as the JTF 71 CERFP, is composed of four elements staffed by 400 personnel from previously established National Guard units. The elements are: search and extraction; decontamination; medical; and command and control. The command and control team directs the overall activities of the CERFP and coordinates with the state Joint Task Force and the incident commander. 4th WMD Civil Support Team The 22 personnel of the 4th Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (WMD CST) provide support to civil authorities at domestic CBRNE incident sites by offering identification and assessment of hazards. They also advise civil authorities and facilitate the arrival of follow-on military forces during emergencies and incidents of WMD terrorism, intentional or unintentional release of CBRN materials, and natural or man-made disasters that result in, or could result in, catastrophic loss of life or property. The 4th WMD CST complements and enhances, but does not duplicate, state CBRNE response capabilities. The Adjutant General can either The initial establishment of CERFPs placed at least one in each FEMA Region. The Georgia Guard has one of the 12 validated CERFPs in the country. An additional five CERFPs have been authorized and funded by Congress, to include fulltime manning and equipment. When an incident occurs within a team s response area, they are alerted through their state HQ and mobilized on state active duty. If the incident is located within their state, they proceed to the incident if directed to do so by their JFHQ. If the incident is located outside of their state, their state headquarters coordinates with the receiving state under the terms agreed to in the Emergency Mutual Aid Compact. In late 2010, the 4th Engineer employ the 4th CST to support the state response under the direction of the governor or aid another state s response under another governor. The 4th CST is comprised of full-time Army and Air National Guard personnel. The structure of the unit is divided into six sections: command; operations; communications; administration/ logistics; medical/analytical; and survey. Each CST deploys to an incident site using its organic assigned vehicles, which include a command vehicle, operations trailer, a communications platform called the unified command suite (which provides a broad spectrum of secure communications capabilities), an analytical laboratory system vehicle (containing a full suite of analysis equipment to support the characterization of the hazard), and several general-purpose vehicles. Company became the search and extraction element for JTF 71 because Augusta s 77th Engineer Company was out of the state for a yearlong deployment to Afghanistan. In February 2011, JTF 71 conducted a joint force training exercise with several first response agencies from the Atlanta area at Marietta s Cobb County Public Safety Village. The exercise involved more than 300 Army and Air Guardsmen, training in a trueto-life terrorist scenario. In November 2011, JTF 71 was evaluated as part of the 7th HRF, and was considered number one in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergency response management. The CST can also be moved by air, rail, commercial truck, or ship. The 4th CST was one of the first ten CST units originally established by the U.S. Department of Defense. In 2011, Georgia s 4th CST was active across the state. Whether providing support for the Governor s inauguration, training with first responders, or providing vital support for large-draw events, the unit has provided critical technical assistance in support of civil authorities. Most recently, the 4th CST participated in a WMD training exercise with fire and emergency management personnel in Cherokee County. The exercise underscored the value the CST brings to the state. In the event that a CBRNE incident exceeds the capability of local responders to control, the CST can deploy 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year to assist.

19 Counterdrug Task Force The Counterdrug Task Force conducts a full-spectrum campaign that bridges the gap between Department of Defense and non- Department of Defense institutions in the fight against illicit drugs and transnational threats to the homeland. The program contributes military support for local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and community-based organizations as well as combatant commanders. The Counterdrug program s goal is to provide the nation with a drugfree, mission-ready force to defend the interests of its citizens at home and abroad. The unique military skills of these Soldiers and Airmen are the key to providing this vital support. They work at all levels of government to anticipate, deter, and defeat these threats in order to enhance national security and protect our society. National Guard Counterdrug Program personnel, as a whole, are woven into the fabric of our communities all across America, operating in 54 states and territories. The more than 40 members of the Ga. CDTF assists civil authorities in illegal narcotic and property seizures, and marijuana eradication. Additionally, through programs such as the Drug Demand Reduction program, the CDTF provides education to schools and civic organizations throughout Georgia. In 2010, the more than 40 highly trained Georgia Guardsmen in the CDTF assisted in illegal narcotic and property seizures totaling in excess of $421 million dollars. Marijuana Eradication in 2010 was at its highest in years, with over 75,000 outdoor plants being eradicated. In July 2010, the largest Methamphetamine lab on the entire East Coast was discovered, producing approximately 200 lbs. of meth per month. In Sept., the Georgia CDTF facilitated the discovery of the second largest marijuana operation in state history, whereupon 26,212 plants with a street value of more than $52 million were seized. Another important aspect of the CDTF is the Drug Demand and Reduction program, which provides educational programs to schools and civic organizations on drug awareness and prevention. During 2010, this drug awareness program was presented to a total of more than 77,25 students. In 2011, the CDTF underwent a three-day counterdrug performance evaluation. This inspection, conducted by National Guard Bureau Counterdrug Operations, reviewed the program s administration and logistics, aviation resources, training, and finance operations. It also reviewed the CDTF administrators of the Georgia Guard s Joint Substance Abuse Program, or JSAP. Georgia Guard CDTF program scored 9 out of a possible 100 on the inspection. The average score for the nation s 54 counter drug programs is 9. Local, state and federal officers gather at a rally point before moving on to their objective a sparsely wooded area being used by simulated drug dealers for a simulated drug deal. The group was among the more than 20 officers from departments and agencies across Georgia who took part in the five-day Woodland Training course put on by the Georgia Counterdrug Task Force and taught by Georgia Army Guardsmen who make up the Task Force s Ground Reconnaissance Teams. Public Affairs The primary goal of public affairs is to tell the organization s story so the people of the State know the great work their Guardsmen perform. The challenges of getting that story out in today s busier-than-ever media market are considerable. And in 2011, all elements of the Georgia Guard s public affairs operations made considerable gains in finding new ways to meet that challenge. From providing regional social media guidance to other Public Affairs Offices, to generating Public Affairs Guidance documents and SOPs that have been adopted by the likes of U.S. Army Europe and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, the Georgia Guard s outreach efforts have continually helped steer ancillary, sibling, and parent organization initiatives, continuing to contribute to the public affairs profession, provide leadership in the field, and push the bounds of new communication tools. The PAO directly supported 121 community relations events in 2011 alone, organizing and authorizing static displays, color guards, band performances, and in some instances even flyovers. In order to reach the geographically dispersed units of the Ga. DoD and interested civilian parties, online outreach continued to be the primary means of communication. Throughout 2011, the Georgia National Guard remained a trendsetter in online outreach winning online competitions, leading the pack in followers on multiple channels, generating more traffic than the organization has ever seen before, and connecting stakeholders with command information in more ways and on more channels than any other state National Guard agency in the country. Central in all of this has been the total overhaul of the Georgia Department of Defense s official website: GeorgiaGuard.com. The Georgia Guard website was recognized last year by National Guard Bureau as the best in the nation, and then by the U.S. Army as the second best. This year, GeorgiaGuard.com was again recognized by NGB as being in the top three nationwide, as was our blog ( com) and our overall social media program. Of all the states with a National Guard presence on social media, Georgia has the second most followers on Twitter and the most followers on Google+, was the first state on Google+, is regularly in the top three or five most influential on Klout, is seventh in terms of total video views on YouTube, and ninth relative to total fans on Facebook. Since the beginning of 2010, the amount of content hosted by our website has increased by 300%, featuring 225 stories produced by the PAO during that time period. In the last quarter alone, there were 205 positive news stories run by civilian media about the Georgia National Guard. Of those, fully 60% was worked through the Ga. DoD Public Affairs Office. Our posts on Facebook attracted about 2.5 million impressions last year alone, and our images on Flickr have been viewed more than 350,000 times since Viewership of the organization s monthly magazine, the Georgia Guardsman, has increased tenfold in just two years, bringing in almost 90,000 total magazine views. With over 15,000 votes, the Georgia Guard has run away with the National Guard s Support Patch contest leaving the second place state more than 4,000 votes behind. Last year, in the Guard s Resiliency Video Contest, Georgia finished second bringing in over 20,000 votes. The compelling imagery and story angles provided by our collectors are what drives traffic and sustained interest in our channels. Without eye-catching photos and thoughtprovoking story leads, we could not have been as successful with our outreach efforts. The Georgia Guard takes pride in the customer service it provides through its public-facing channels. From a newly constructed Contacts tab on the website to help better direct inquiries, to answering questions posted on Facebook. The open, honest, and sometimes even self-policing culture of our online communities has allowed us to explore a wide breadth and depth of content and subjects while providing world class customer service saw a momentous boost in traffic and interest throughout all channels. The Georgia National Guard Facebook page in 2009 had less than 150 fans; today it generates as many as 3,000 impressions per individual update over the course of a single day or two. Each of these outlets contributed, in a unique way, to the overall strategic communication of the Georgia Department of Defense in 2011 allowing the organization to sync command messages across all channels and communities. 35 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 36

20 Emerging Missions National Guardsmen have a unique blend of civilian and military skills. It is this dual, Citizen-Soldier nature and temperament of Guardsmen that allows them to be so effective when conducting smart power missions. The National Guard has been conducting such missions in Eastern Europe, South America, Africa, and Central America for over two decades and is heavily involved in smart power operations in Afghanistan. The State Partnership Program, agribusiness development teams, and training and reconstruction teams are excellent examples of the National Guard using civilian skills to support the geographical combatant commanders theater campaign plans. The National Guard also provides forces for several innovative training and reconstruction teams, including Agribusiness Development Teams Agribusiness development teams (ADTs) are part of the counterinsurgency strategy put forth by the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The ISAF was formed to put a stop to the violence in Afghanistan and improve the Afghan people s confidence in their central government. The Georgia National Guard has made a three-year commitment to provide ADTs in Afghanistan. The first of these deployed for southeastern Afghanistan in the spring of In preparation for that deployment, the involved Georgia Guardsmen have the operational mentor and liaison teams, embedded training teams, and provincial reconstruction teams, all operating in Afghanistan and Iraq. Helping the unfortunate and oppressed through noncombat initiatives is nothing new to the National Guard. In the War on Terror, Guardsmen have helped Iraqis and Afghans improve infrastructure, advance law enforcement, bring utilities to towns and villages, and enhance relationships with local leaders. For example, Guardsmen in Georgia s 4th Brigade took on several noncombat roles during their 2010 deployment to Afghanistan. Soldiers of the 121st Infantry Regiment provided medical assistance to children of the Kuchi nomadic tribe. Members of the 1-10th Cavalry Regiment opened two radio stations in the Muhmand Dara and Shinwar provinces to give the people of those regions a voice to counter Taliban used the new language lab at Clay National Guard center to improve their understanding of the Pashto and Dari languages used in the region. The ADTs have also tapped the University of Georgia for additional agriculture instruction from the staff of UGA s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Afghanistan may be a high-tech battlefield, but its agriculture practices are like those of America during the 1900s, or in some cases the 100s. And the farmers there are woefully poor even by Afghanistan s standards. The job of the ADTs is to help the Afghans change their practices through education, mentorship and easy-to-train, easy-to-sustain crop, livestock, water and land management projects that fit their culture and their environment. propaganda. Georgia s Citizen- Soldiers were also actively involved in civil-military projects designed to create Afghan jobs and offer militaryage men a paying alternative to joining the insurgency. A year later, Guardsmen with the 3-10th Calvary went to Uganda to teach the Uganda Peoples Defense Force parachute skills. Two Agribusiness Development Teams with the 7th Homeland Response Force have deployed to Afghanistan to teach the farmers there sustainable agriculture techniques. And our 16- year State Partnership Program with the nation of Georgia continues, as that country became the largest non- NATO contributor to the fight in Afghanistan. Georgia s Guardsmen have proven themselves repeatedly in combat as well as in humanitarian and domestic response missions. They consistently perform at the professional level that the state and nation expects. Afghans who learn these straightforward practices can pass them on to their fellow farmers, especially those of the next generation. In this way, they move evercloser to self-sustainment and the revitalization of a local and national agricultural economy. While America s agricultural initiative in Afghanistan may be considered a noncombat mission, it is still dangerous. Keeping the Taliban at bay, let alone trying to force them to leave the team s area, will not be easy, especially in those places the Taliban calls home. But the ultimate goal is to get the Afghans accustomed to picking up shovels and seeds to solve their problems, instead of AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades. State Partnership Program with the Nation of Georgia The State Partnership Program (SPP) experienced its most successful year to date in The primary goal of the SPP is to establish enduring civil-military relationships that improve long-term international security while building partnership capacity across all levels of society. The country of Georgia is the largest non-nato contributor of forces to International Security Forces Afghanistan. In past years, the Georgia National Guard helped train over 2,000 Georgian soldiers and has embedded with the Georgian soldiers in Iraq. Today, 1 Georgia National Guard Soldiers comprise the Georgia Train and Support Team which works to prepare Georgian battalions for deployments to Afghanistan, greatly increasing the combat forces available for this effort and furthering Georgia s aspirations for NATO membership. This SPP enabled the Georgian government to complete a presidential initiative to develop a national military service academy. The Georgia National Defense Academy was established in the fall of 2011, and it now serves as the primary commissioning source and critical enabler for force transformation and professionalization a strategic priority for the country of Georgia. The SPP was involved from the inception, providing conduits to U.S. military academies for guidance and laying the groundwork for mutual collaboration with North Georgia College and State University. A memorandum of understanding was signed between the two universities stating, The cooperation between the parties shall be implemented to develop civilian and military curricula, internal quality assurance procedures and mechanisms. They will implement student and academic staff exchange programs and other joint activities. The disaster response/interagency coordination efforts within the SPP reached two major milestones in In June, Georgia conducted a large, Georgian-led exercise with a U.S. observer controller team. The purpose of this exercise was to provide a forum to the Georgian military and civilian ministries to work together toward a common solution. This successful exercise is the culmination of over five years of bilateral efforts. The Georgians now have viable interagency partner capacity and the confidence to demonstrate it. In November 2011, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs volunteered to host the 2012 NATO Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Center s annual disaster response exercise. This exercise will include 3 countries and over 1,000 participants, allowing Georgia to showcase their partner capacity. The State Partnership Program will continue to develop this interagency capability while selecting and developing emerging missions that align with the goals and objectives of the SPP and the partner country. 37 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 3

21 Youth ChalleNGe Academy The Georgia National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Academy (YCA) offers great value to the state of Georgia and local communities. March 5, 2011, Georgia s 10,000th YCA graduate walked the stage after earning his diploma, highlighting 19 years of outstanding success by intervening and changing the lives of the state s at-risk youth. Georgia has two of the 33 YCA programs nationwide, yet has produced 10% of the total number of graduates nationally. Georgia s Youth ChalleNGe has produced graduates with the values, skills, education, self-confidence and self-discipline necessary to succeed as adults. This success comes as an incredible bargain to the entire state in that the federal government pays 75% of the cost of the program, thus allowing the state to pay only 25%. Additionally, YCA program statistics show that, nationally, communities surrounding ChalleNGe facilities receive the benefit of 590,665 hours of volunteer service. Those hours are valued at more than three million dollars, based on the present federal minimum wage. Conversely, had these youth not been given a second chance, the negative effects on the state would have been significant. High school dropouts have a six percent higher unemployment rate, are 3.5 times more likely to be arrested, and eight times more likely to be incarcerated. Eighty percent will appear before a judge within five years. A staggering two-thirds of prison inmates are high school dropouts. Through YCA, a large number of cadets receive their GED, with at least 53 percent joining Georgia s work force, 23 percent going on to college or vocational school, and 20 percent entering the military. The Ga. DoD orchestrates two campuses, one at Fort Stewart and one at Fort Gordon. Both campuses accommodate approximately 225 students in each of their two classes per year. Each class is 22 weeks in length, residential, and follows the military model of discipline and structure. One of the most important aspects of the curriculum is that all graduates are taught valuable life-skills. These life-skills have a strong, positive impact on the future of each and every young person who participates in the program. Each young person who enrolls is matched with a qualified mentor who follows the student during the residential phase and then formally assists and monitors their success during the 12 months following graduation. This helps to further solidify the changes that have taken place, both mentally and physically, in the graduate. Under the constant leadership of Mr. Frank Williams, State Director of YCA since the program was a pilot program in 1993, and a highly trained and seasoned staff, the program has become a model for ChalleNGe academies nationwide. All of these factors are key components of a highly successful program that is turning the at-risk youth of today into the productive, tax-paying citizens of tomorrow s state and nation. 39 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 40

22 STARBASE The Georgia Department of Defense s STARBASE program seeks to build interest in science, technology, engineering and math amongst Georgia s at-risk youth. The program exposes students and their teachers to real-world applications of math and science, through experiential learning, simulations and experiments in aviation and space-related fields. Georgia s STARBASE serves approximately 00 fifth graders annually, with quantifiable improvement. Before participation in the program, students averaged 54.6% on a standardized science, technology, engineering and math test. After participation in Georgia s STARBASE, average student scores improved by over 20 percentage points to 79.95% At STARBASE, students participate in challenging handson, mind-on activities in aviation, science, technology, e n g i n e e r i n g, math, and space exploration. They interact with military personnel to explore careers and make connections with the real world. The program provides students with hours of stimulating experiences by exposing youth to the technological environments and positive role models found within the Georgia National Guard. Educational Opportunities for Guardsmen The National Guard is a military service with the mission to support and defend not only the Constitution of the United States, but also that of individual States. Therefore, as members of the National Guard, Georgia Guardsmen are also members of the Reserve Components. Guardsmen may qualify for numerous federal education benefits some of which are unique to the ARNG while otherz come as part of being a member of the Reserve Components team. Guardsmen, their family members, and their employees are eligible for a variety of Federal Education benefits to assist in the pursuit of higher education objectives. Soldiers of the Georgia Guard have a variety of resources to pay for higher education. Upon enlistment, all Guardsmen qualify for Federal Tuition Assistance program which covers up to 100% of tuition and mandatory fees (capped at $4,500 per year) for accredited courses at colleges, universities, trade, or secondary schools. These funds are paid on a first come, first served basis, so early application and a proactive attitude is vital. Some Guardsmen are also eligible for VA benefits like the Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve, or Post 9/11 GI Bill. These funds are in addition to FTA, and can go toward paying for school essentials like books, fees, and housing. The National Guard Service Cancelable Loan Fund may repay up to $1,19 per semester for eligible Guardsmen. HERO scholarships are available for those Guardsmen who have deployed to combat zones, or the children of those Guardsmen. These scholarships can cover up to $2,000 per academic year, capped at $,000. For more on educational opportunities, visit the Georgia Guard s website on the subject: 122nd Regiment Regional Training Institute The 122nd Regiment Regional Training Institute provides regionalized combat arms, leadership, military occupational specialty, additional skill identifier, noncommissioned officer education system, and general studies training for the Army National Guard, United States Army Reserve, and the Active Component. The RTI plans and programs training within its region based on requirements identified by the individual training branch, the Army Program for Individual Training and the Training Requirements Arbitration Plan. The 122nd trains and educates the region s allvolunteer forces to be technically current and tactically proficient as an expeditionary Army. The RTI teaches Soldiers to operate in a joint interagency, intergovernmental and multinational environment and to conduct fullspectrum operations protecting national security and national defense strategies domestically and abroad. North Georgia College & State University Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Dahlonega, North Georgia College and State University is a four-year institution with more than 130 years of experience in educating future leaders. Offering more than 50 major areas of study, North Georgia has many benefits for the 200 Georgia Guardsmen on their campus, starting with awarding 42 Georgia Military scholarships a year to Georgia Army Guardsmen. This scholarship offers a fullride for four years, worth $7,700 a semester ($62,000 in all), to include tuition, fees, books, meals, and housing. The school s Guard Partnership Program allows enlisted Georgia Guardsmen to serve as ROTC cadets while still drilling with their National Guard units. Members of the program are SMP cadets, and receive extra benefits, like an additional monthly stipend and elevated drill pay. Other programs like Federal Tuition Assistance, VA benefits, and ROTC grants may also be used at this university. Language Training Center The Georgia National Guard Language Training Center (LTC) opened its doors in June 2010 at the Clay National Guard Center to provide the resources necessary for military intelligence linguists to hone their language skills. This costeffective facility boasts four large classrooms, a state-of-the art testing center, and a language library. Class sizes are limited to eight students to both ensure quality of training and to comply with the Defense Language Institute s guidelines. As part of a national partnership with the Defense Language Institute, the Georgia LTC s primary mission is to give refresher courses to Guardsmen from all over the country who have already learned a foreign language as part of their military careers. These courses enhance their language proficiency and add a degree of cultural awareness. The Georgia LTC expanded its mission last year to assist premobilization activities for deploying units by providing Language and Cultural Awareness training to deploying Soldiers. So far, over 300 Soldiers have received Language and Cultural training at the Georgia LTC in languages ranging from Pashto to Albanian. The new lab serves as a unique asset to the region, and the nation as a whole, as it is the only National Guard Language Training Center on the East Coast and the first of its kind for the National Guard. Georgia Military College Georgia Military College has a main campus in Milledgeville, and satellite campuses in Augusta, Fairburn, Warner Robins, Valdosta, Madison, Sandersville, and Columbus. Statewide, GMC educates approximately 500 Georgia Guardsmen a year. This semi-private community junior college offers 30 state service scholarships a year to Georgia Air or Army Guardsmen. This scholarship is a full ride for two years, worth nearly $20,000 a year to cover all expenses including tuition, fees, books, meals, and housing. Enlisted Guardsmen may participate in the Simultaneous Membership Program as cadets who serve in the Georgia Guard. These cadets receive extra benefits including an additional monthly stipend and elevated drill pay. Other ROTC benfits and scholarships are available. GMC is also one of only five schools in the nation to offer the Military Junior College scholarship. 17 of these are given annually at GMC. This college also accepts Federal Tuition Assistance and VA benefits. 41 Georgia Department of Defense 2011 Annual Report 42

23 Dynamic and Growing Guard With over 160 members, the Recruiting and Retention Battalion (RRB) of the Georgia Army National Guard engages in sourcing new talent throughout our State s 159 counties. The RRB, in conjunction with the G1, is the primary driver by which the GAARNG achieves its end-strength mission, currently designated as 11,100. And the RRB has been quite successful in this mission, growing the GARNG 40% since 2005, when its force strength was just around,000. As we look to the future, our enlisted recruiting mission for FY12 is to secure 1,400 more of the best and brightest to be in your Georgia National Guard. Relationship-building within our defense communities around the state of Georgia is entrusted to three enlisted strength companies. These companies work with communities, high schools, and post-secondary educational institutions in Georgia to find new, qualified members for our enlisted ranks. We seek out and even grow future leaders in the Georgia Guard through our RRB s officer strength company by engaging in a variety of specialties aimed at attracting future leaders to the organization. First, we recruit and train candidates who wish to earn a commission as a second lieutenant or warrant officer appointment by completing an officer or warrant officer candidate school program. Second, we work with senior ROTC departments at Georgia s colleges and universities to attract young leaders for commissioning from within the state. Our specialty branch recruiting team seeks experienced professionals in the fields of law, medicine, and divinity, who commission respectively into the Judge Advocate General s Corps, the Medical Corps, or the Chaplain Corps. The eclectic personnel of the Georgia National Guard have optimally positioned the organization for success to continue on as a strong and growing organization of excellence, recognized as a leader in strength, readiness and innovation, postured for effective response, and chosen for new missions and force structure. The many perspectives of our Soldiers and Airmen offer a variety of solutions to today s problems. We know that diversity is not just a matter of ethnographic diversity, but of socioeconomic, demographic, experiential, informational, cultural and fundamental diversity as well. There is a direct correlation between diversity of thought within a group and its capacity for problem-solving. The Ga. DoD implements diversity as a priority on every level of the organization so that the organization provides opportunities for all members who live the Ga. DoD values to realize their full potential through service. We have units from the Army and Air Guard rotating in and out of Afghanistan, Iraq, the Horn of Africa, and places around the world in support of our war efforts. Their performance has been exemplary. As the Secretary of Defense pursues initiatives to reduce overhead and increase efficiency within the DoD, many, including Georgia s Adjutant General, feel that the way ahead on such initiatives lies in the National Guard as the Guard s cost-efficiency relative to capability perfectly aligns it to be a key pillar in achieving the Secretary s intent. The Georgia Guard, specifically, has provided key support in the Global War on Terrorism and in homeland security. The men and women of Georgia s National Guard are providing valuable, unique skill sets and experiential knowledge that can only be provided by Citizen- Soldiers and -Airmen who have developed a different set of skills and abilities other than Soldiering. Not only is the Guard much less expensive than the Active Component, but the government gets two for the price of one because of the Guard s dual state and federal missions. It is important to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of employers around the state to support their National Guard employees. Too often, when talking about state and federal missions, people forget that Guardsmen are Citizen-Soldiers. Meaning, they re citizens first, with civilian jobs. So, when Guardsmen and Airmen need to depart for a mission or training, it takes a toll on the employers they leave behind. It would be difficult to describe just how important the efforts of these employers are, not just because they maintain our Soldiers as employees, but also because the professional skills and experiences they work to help these Guardsmen acquire make Guardsmen better at their military role as well. These employers, too, play a key role in our fight in the War on Terrorism - by helping us to diversify and educate the Soldiers and Airmen engaging that fight. Of course, this is a two-way street. In return our employers get a drug-free, physically fit, leader as an employee in return. Truly, the Georgia Guard is a dynamic and growing organization: one in which the state of Georgia can take immense pride.

24 Historical Roots A little more than 375 years ago, the Massachusetts legislature ordered the organization of militia companies in the towns around Boston into three regiments, to better defend the lives and liberties of the colonists there. And so the military organization we know today as the National Guard came into existence with that direct declaration on Dec. 13, That organization s original charter reflects an aspect of our national character a tendency not to maintain a large standing military, and even when we go to war, to keep one hand on the plow and get back to our homes and businesses as soon as we can. Guard historians contend that Massachusetts is the birthplace of the National Guard because the North, South and East regiments created by the legislative action taken 374 years ago can prove their continuous and unbroken existence since The Massachusetts Army Guard s 11st Infantry, 12nd Cavalry, 101st Field Artillery and 101st Engineer Battalion are descendants of those regiments and are the oldest units in the U.S. military. The nation s second oldest field artillery unit belongs to Georgia the 1-11th, or Old Hickory as it s sometimes referred to. In fact, in 2010, Massachusetts 101st met up with our 11th for a transfer of authority ceremony at Camp Phoenix in Afghanistan. But Camp Phoenix is not the first time these units have run into each other. The history between our nation s oldest two artillery units spans hundreds of years. They fought alongside one another in the Revolutionary War, only to conduct counter-battery fire against each other as rivals in the Civil War on the blood-soaked battlegrounds of Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Florida. In World Wars I and II, the howitzers of the 1-101st and 1-11th united yet again to fight for America, this time on European battlefields. And as the sun set on the 1-11th s tenure in Afghanistan this year, their responsibilities passed on to an old friend in a new century. In many ways, the story of these two units is indicative of the larger story of the Guard. Our nation s minutemen have risen to protect their communities time and again, war after war, conflict after conflict, for 375 years. In December 2011, the Guard celebrated nearly four centuries of service to state and nation, from the earliest colonial days to today, whenever and wherever there has been a threat to our citizens, our values or our way of life. Our Nation s Guardsmen have played a premier role in homeland defense since the inception of the United States. Indeed, it was the blood of our militiamen in the Revolutionary War who first ensured our right to refer to ourselves as the United States of America. Today, thousands of national guardsmen and women from around the country continue to build on this proud heritage, performing missions around the world their forefathers in 1636 never could have imagined. The National Guard has never been more central to our nation s defense or more important to the success of our active military components in the warfight. It is good to remember, too, the long and storied tradition of the militiaman, and later minuteman and Guardsman, that came before us. When the Army, Navy, and Marines were being organized in 1775, already our predecessors had seen long service to our country, and decisive service at Lexington and Concord. Today we continue that tradition with ready, relevant forces decisive both at home and abroad; and for all this, we should be proud of being members of the National Guard. Although the country s growth and expansion has made the United States a large military force around the world, the National Guard still remains a community cornerstone just as did that when it was given birth in Yet the respect and gratitude shown to Citizen-Soldiers and Airmen by their communities has never been greater. Without the continued support of communities and employers, service members could not do what they do 24-hours a day, seven days a week as a central element of homeland defense.

25 A Decade of Sacrifice Consistent with Department of Defense trends and policy, the Georgia National Guard continues to serve the nation as an operational force in the War on Terror going well beyond the legacy role of a strategic reserve. Since 9/11, the Georgia National Guard has deployed more than 12,300 Soldiers and 2,61 Airmen overseas, representing 107% of the Georgia Guard s current force strength. The first Army Guard unit to mobilize in the aftermath of 9/11 was the 190th Military Police Company. The 190th departed on Jan. 16, 2002 and returned Feb. 27, 2003, beginning an unabated series of deployments that continues still today. November 2001 through April 2002, the 116th Air Control Wing deployed in response to the September 11th terrorist attacks against the United States in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Since that time, the 116th has been continuously deployed in Southwest Asia for almost a decade. The 165th Airlift Wing has deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan in support of the War on Terror nine times. The Georgia Army National Guard s 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team has completed two major deployments the first in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in , the second in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in , respectively. Indeed, the vast majority of the nearly 40 Georgia Guardsmen who 2011 Deployments at a Glance Lebanon Uganda Kosovo State Partnership - Georgia Qatar have died in the line of duty since 9/11 were in the 4th Brigade during one of these two deployments. In addition to unit deployments, hundreds of Georgia Guardsmen have deployed individually as Individual Mobilization Augmentees to fill critical roles and shortages for various units throughout the Department of Defense. Currently, approximately 900 Georgia Guardsmen are deployed overseas today with several significant deployments scheduled during the next two years. The 15,000 men and women of the Georgia National Guard are proud to have played an instrumental role in our nation s defense, and remain ever indebted to the sacrifices made by fellow Guardsmen who have fallen in the line of duty protecting freedom.
